These Boots...

It's time to wear my gardening boots again! Can you hear that? Andy Williams...."it's the most wonderful time of the year....."  Yeah, so what if the rest of the song is about Christmas.  I have co-opted the chorus and am using it as my springtime theme song.... 

Brightness on a Blah Day

Today has already been a blah day: overcast, cold, rainy, majorly delayed public transport, and I missed the elephants' annual parade.  So, here is a bright spot in my day and in our front garden. 

Confession

Yes, it is vegetable that begins with a vowel.... but I *might* have developed a taste for avocados with olive oil & balsamic vinegar because when it is fresh and organic and you are absolutely starving, it is quite tasty....

Clint Eastwood Is So Proud

You can hear the Wild West Music, can't you? Baby Kitty and the Squirrel face off in the back yard.  The air was tense and not a bird chirped in the sky, wanting to know to who would make the first move: the Squirrel, turning and running, or Jackie, running full steam ahead to attack the birdseed thief.  

Yeah, you can *just* imagine what happened next....to spare the bloody details, I will say this. All squirrels are no longer in our yard.... though, it really has nothing to do with this cat.  It has everything to do that we didn't refill the feeders this weekend after they had emptied them.  

Update: One Week In

In one week, we have sprouting: baby's breathe, beans,  brussels sprouts, celery, kale, lettuce, marigolds, mesclun, peas, radishes, rockett, salad mix, sunflowers, swiss chard, tarragon, and watermelons.
